Ingredients

  • 2lbs ground beef

  • 2 diced jalapeños

  • 1 block of colby jack “diced”

  • 1 large onion ‘finely diced’

  • Tony Chachere’s 30-minute burger marinade

  • 2 tbsp hot sauce

  • 1 pack of hot dog buns

  • 1/2 pack of thick sliced bacon

  • 1 can of cheese sauce

  • 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1 tsp Tony’s No Salt seasoning

  • Clear

Directions

  1. Mix the Base: Place your ground beef in a large mixing bowl. Add the cubed Colby Jack cheese, diced onions, and diced jalapeños.

  2. Add the Flavor: Pour in your hot sauce of choice and half a bottle of Tony’s Burger Marinade.

  3. Combine: Using your hands, mix everything until well combined. Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

  4. Form the Meatballs: After chilling, form your mixture into meatballs, big or small, depending on your preference. (Remember, they’ll be served in hot dog buns, so size accordingly.)

  5. Smoke the Meatballs: Place the meatballs on the smoker, indirect heat, at 300°F for about 20 minutes.

  6. Cook the Bacon: While the meatballs smoke, cook your bacon until crispy. Crumble it and set aside.

  7. Prep the Buns: Stuff your hot dog buns with shredded mozzarella cheese.

  8. Toast the Buns: Once the meatballs are finished, place the buns on the smoker until they’re toasted and the mozzarella is melted.

  9. Assemble the Subs: Load the smoked meatballs into the cheesy buns. Top with your favorite cheese sauce and the crumbled bacon.

  10. Enjoy!
